In VIM one can easily change colours with ":set backgorund=dark". This
doesn't actually change the background, but rather uses a colour
scheme that is designed for a dark background. Is there any quick
command like this for bash? I don't want to edit the whole config file
if there is a quick way to get a better colour scheme.

Thanks.

No, there is not such option in bash.

There are some terminal applications that allow to change the
colourscheme though (like konsole)

In a konsole terminal window look under Settings->Schema for some preset colour schemes. Also take a look under Settings->Configure Konsole->Schema for more advanced options :)

Personally I like white text on a black background.

Kind Regards,
